Chapter 191 Under the Sunny Sky of Naples

Under the bright sunshine of Naples, Chen Hero looked at the girl in front of him and asked calmly, "I've lost someone. Have you seen her?"

Cabrela's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. After a moment, she said, "What do you want from her?"

"To tell her I love her, and that I want to have a serious relationship with her." Chen Hero still looked at Cabrela and said calmly.

"Bodyguards can't date their employers..."

"Damn it!" Chen Hero cursed. "You're not my bodyguard anymore!"

He finally couldn't keep up the pretense. He took a step forward and hugged Cabrela tightly.

As he stepped forward, Cabrela's body trembled, as if reflexively wanting to make a move, but in the end, she chose to remain still, allowing Chen Hero to embrace her.

"I just want to hold you like this, keep holding you like this, Christine..." Chen Hero murmured in her ear, the warm breath he exhaled tickling her ear.

"I have a villa in Liverpool, by the sea. It's small, only four bedrooms and two living rooms. But I still feel it's too big, too empty. I missed you, so I came back. I was planning to go home first and then call you… I didn't expect to see you here as soon as I arrived in Naples, can you believe it? That's fate. We Chinese talk about fate. In this vast sea of people, Naples is so big, but I just happened to see you here as soon as I arrived. What is this if not fate? It shows that we are destined to be together… I miss you, I want to take you to England…" Feeling the body in his arms move slightly, Chen Hero tightened his embrace. "Listen to me, if you don't want to go, then I can come to Italy. I will come to see you often anyway, it's not far from Liverpool to Naples, just a few hours by plane… When I miss you, I will come to see you. I don't mind paying any price…"

After saying that, he released Cabrela, but his hands still gripped her shoulders. He stared at her and asked, "I've said this much, are you still going to refuse?"

Cabrela looked at Chen Hero for a while, then smiled, "No wonder the media say you're a playboy… Didn't you go to a nightclub recently?"

"I just had a few drinks there. It's really boring being alone in Liverpool. So, if you don't answer, I'll take it as you agreeing. From now on, you're my girlfriend!"

Cabrela shook her head and smiled, "I'm afraid I'm not a very good dating partner."

"This kind of thing doesn't need any ISO9000 certification or anything. You will be. There's no one better than you."

"I don't know how to sweet talk."

"I'm tired of that stuff."

"I'm older than you…"

"We have a saying in China: 'A woman three years older brings golden bricks.' An older woman is a good thing."

"I don't understand romance, if you're looking for that kind of…"

Chen Hero didn't let her continue to make excuses. He directly lowered his head and blocked her lips with his own.

Cabrela didn't push him away. Her hands hung at her sides. After a while, she tentatively raised them and held Chen Hero's waist. The posture was a bit awkward, but no one cared.

After a passionate kiss, he took a deep breath and looked at Cabrela again, saying, "This is already enough."

"You know, Christine? Only when someone doesn't like someone else will they complain that he's not romantic enough, that he doesn't know how to sweet talk, that he doesn't do this, doesn't do that… If they really love each other, then they will tolerate each other's shortcomings. So I love you, I don't care what shortcomings you have. Or, to me, your shortcomings are all advantages. I like that you're mostly serious, I like your raised eyebrows, I like everything…"

"You're really good at pleasing girls…"

"I'm telling the truth!"

The two of them were already sitting on the sofa in the living room. Chen Hero held Christine, letting her lean against his chest.

If he had dared to do this before, he would have been met with a lightning-fast shoulder throw that would have left him dazed.

But now, he could hold Christine like this, just like an ordinary couple.

He really enjoyed this feeling. It was completely different from the feeling of being together just for the sake of sex…

They were both very familiar with everything here, because they had lived here for three whole years. For Cabrela, this was her second home.

"I still can't go to Liverpool with you, Hero." Cabrela's change in address to Chen Hero seemed to indicate a change in their relationship.

"Why?"

"I have my job, and I have my career, even though this career may seem ridiculous to you. But I'm sorry, I'm currently enjoying being a bodyguard."

Although Chen Hero really hoped that Christine would go to Liverpool with him, he was also prepared to accept that Christine wouldn't come. Just like he said before, if Christine didn't go to Liverpool, then he would just run to Naples often.

It wasn't a big deal.

Just a little regretful.

Chen Hero stayed in Naples for two days, and spent those two days with Cabrela. They went to the streets and alleys of Naples together, to the Port of Naples, one of the three most beautiful harbors in the world, and also to the famous resort island of Capri, nicknamed "Honeymoon Island."

Under the passionate gaze, Chen Hero and Christine strolled hand in hand along the winding paths and colorful residential buildings.

Chen Hero's heart, which had been restless since he transferred to Liverpool, finally settled down.

In fact, after Chen Hero went to Liverpool, his condition had been unstable. Sometimes he would score goals continuously, and other times he wouldn't score for a long time. There were tactical reasons, reasons for adapting to a new environment, and also his inner restlessness.

He always felt that something was missing in his heart, so how could he concentrate on football?

Chen Hero was human, not a god. Humans have emotions and desires, and are affected by these emotions and desires.

But peaceful times are always short-lived.

Who told him to be a public figure?

He and Christine stayed in Naples for two days. Their usual disguise when going out was just a pair of sunglasses, without even a hat. And it was also hard to say whether he wore sunglasses to disguise himself or to shield himself from the ubiquitous dazzling sunlight of Naples.

By noon of the second day, he was finally found by reporters.

In fact, the news of Chen Hero's arrival in Naples was known to the media on the first day—remember the taxi driver? After he left, he sold this clue to the local Naples newspaper, *Il Mattino*, and made some money.

When the reporters learned that Chen Hero had actually returned to Naples, they were excited.

They all went out to find Chen Hero.

Although Chen Hero made many people unhappy with him when he was in Naples, he had brought the team a league title and a Champions League title, which was very impressive.

So now, even the extremist fans of Naples no longer hated Chen Hero so much. After all, he had already left, so what was there to hate? Weren't they eager for Chen Hero to get lost in the first place? Since he was already gone, there was no need to always remember his bad points. They should think about his good points—a league title and a Champions League title, which were gifts that made them happy for an entire summer.

Now, when Mazzarri promoted Cavani to the starting lineup to replace Chen Hero, Cavani accumulated a wealth of experience, which helped him quickly integrate into the tactical system originally tailored for Chen Hero.

He performed very well, and although he had only played a few league games, he scored goals in succession. Every time there was a home game, the San Paolo stadium could hear the cheers for him.

But no one said, "Cavani has successfully made the Naples fans forget Hero," because if Cavani wanted to make the fans forget Hero, he would probably have to lead the team to win a league title and a Champions League title… This was probably very difficult to achieve.

De Laurentiis once said that his second five-year plan was to make Naples a top team. Whether this goal could be achieved after five years was hard to say. But at least Chen Hero had brought them the most important thing to becoming a top team—a championship, and two at once.

Naples was now on the right track, but this foundation was laid by Chen Hero. Therefore, within the city of Naples, Chen Hero's popularity was quite high—people are so strange. When Chen Hero was there, he didn't have such high popularity. After he left, everyone began to miss him and think about him.

Therefore, when they heard that Chen Hero had quietly returned to Naples, the reporters were excited and wanted to find him and announce the news to the fans.

Chen Hero took Cabrela to a store that specialized in selling all kinds of creative gadgets, and when they came out, they found that several reporters had gathered at the door…

They were carrying cameras, holding microphones, and holding cameras, standing at the door. Obviously, they had arrived long ago, but they did not go in to disturb Chen Hero.

This instantly improved Chen Hero's impression of these reporters.

"Hi, guys, it's a surprise to see you here!" He didn't wait for the reporters to speak, and took the lead to greet them.

Then he pointed to Christine Cabrela beside him: "Let me introduce you, my girlfriend."
